Before And After The Unrest In Ukraine

Ukraine is going through a pretty rough time. And the solution is not in sight yet. It’s stunning to see the stark contrast of what Maiden, Ukraine used to look like very recently (October 2012) and in 2013 after the initial stages of the unrest.

Getting Robbed In Colombia

Now, we know Colombia isn’t exactly a place where you want to go for a long walk at night, or even day, depending where you are. Luckily, these are self-driving cars. Otherwise, this guy would be in trouble.

East St. Louis

North Sentinel Island

The tree coverage is so tight, the whole island just looks like a blob of green when viewed from space. “This island is home to one of the last uncontacted peoples on Earth, untouched by modern civilization. We know little to nothing about this island or the inhabitants, other than they refuse contact and will likely kill any outsiders,” writes Pause_ on Reddit.

The Largest Stuffed Animal In The World

Craters

Look at all those little craters left behind during the Cold War era. “Hundreds of atomic bombs were tested here and really puts into perspective the chance of nuclear war during that time,” writes iGoldy.

Norwich State Hospital

“While stationed in Groton, I was with a friend exploring some woods and came across the back side of this place, which wasn't gated. We walked around the absolutely enormous compound for awhile until we were met by security, they were not very happy. It was a truly creepy experience. The size of the place was really incredible.” - bocephus67

Creepy Balcony Man

Poveglia Island, Italy

“The island was once a quarantine spot for victims who had fallen ill from the Black Plague. Also on the island in the 1930's, a mad doctor killed many patients who were sick (not from the plague) on the island and jumped to his death from the bell tower. On the island, if you zoom in, you can see a few buildings. It's a mental asylum that was built on the island. In 1968 the asylum was closed down. Today, the island is being auctioned in hopes someone will convert the asylum into a luxury hotel. Not only is this creepy but the island is said to be one of the, if not THE most haunted places in the world. Without a doubt it's the most haunted island. If you've seen the popular show, Ghost Adventures, they did an episode where they spent a night on the island. The host of the show Zak, says he would never go back there but one of the other guys on the team, Nick says he wouldn't mind going back there. The island is so incredibly haunted that the Italian government won't let anyone on the island. The Ghost Adventures guys had to get permission from the authorities to film on the island. This place is really fucked up and if I had the opportunity to go to that island and spend a night I'd say ‘Sign me right the fuck up.’” - GodofCat
